Finally releasing to the public...Oklahoma Statewide Map

[DJ2226]

The 612 has a belt and pulley setup for the rotator, so more than likely it was the wind. I think they installed both to do a demo of the performance between the models, so the EOWS may have only been used a few times and left alone unless they went through the trouble of installing an RTU on it to make it work with the Whelen system. Both of them were replaced by a nearby 2910, and from the looks of it the 3016 was no longer pointed in the home position in the StreetView from February. There might be a slight chance that the 3016s are active and run with the 2910s, but there's no way to tell until someone checks them out. They still have a good number of 4004s, some dual toned, and the lone 4008.

^ This is why I wish I lived in the Northern state area, the cooler sirens are there.. then again, the cooler siren enthusiast aren't there. If I was to go to Tulsa to record a siren.. It would be a 2 hour drive.

Also, something else to add. If the EOWS 612 was a unit for demo, why is it still there? Isn't the demo's owned by the siren company? If so, that city practically has a free siren...?

Thanks for the locations! I have updated them in my map.

An OM-117 at Belvin housing

This was the only one I couldn't find. Multiple Google searches and I still haven't found where Belvin housing is, just that it exists and a phone number to call. Is there a major road or corner nearby that I can reference to? :\

Thank you! I have that one on there listed as Choctaw Nation. It didn't seem to fit in with a town. Is it technically part of Talihina's system?

[Busgeek71]

Yes. The City operates the sirens at both of the Choctaw housing complexes (OM-117 and 10V).

After over four years of steady work on this, I think I finally have enough of this completed for me to release it into the general public. This is created in Google Earth, using folders to organize sirens into cities and counties, making it an easy map to navigate instead of having 1000+ placemarks just in one list. I'm pretty sure you can view it with Google maps, but I would recommend downloading it to Earth for easier use. I have had many people contribute and help with locations and those individuals I made sure to list in the description. Overall, I'd say it's about 95% complete as of this writing. Off the top of my head, towns or cities I know are not complete are McAlester, Tulsa, Bartlesville, Hominy, Pawhuska, Vinita, Clinton, Frederick, Duncan, Durant, Sand Springs, Sallisaw, Muskogee, and Poteau. If I happen to know the testing schedule of certain areas, they are listed in the description of those areas.

GCS Model 3 in Putnam OK: https://goo.gl/maps/datXSN4T1gq

Model 2 in Crawford OK: https://goo.gl/maps/zs3a8FndBzS2

Note: You labeled the siren in Cleo Springs OK as a Model B, but newer street view shows it is definitely a Sterling: https://goo.gl/maps/UkFWp9JRXxA2

Note: You labeled these small sirens in Duke OK as a Little Giant, but I think it is 3 small Federal Model A's: https://goo.gl/maps/3VWwJ1omWHA2

I think somewhere there was a siren you labeled as a 2t22 but was actually a Thunderbeam in street view.. but I can't find that right now, maybe later.

Edit: Found a mod 1004 in Bartlesville OK was replaced with a 2001: https://goo.gl/maps/tyUVLEKNqo42 Bye to mods with Siratones.

Anyways, without further ado, follow the link to take you to the Oklahoma Statewide Siren Map.

I think you forgot to add my locations

[dilloncarpenter]

I added them, but they won't be updated in the version that's in the link. I'll have to delete and re-upload it to drive and provide another download link for the updates to show.

Oh, I get it now. Any idea when the new link will be made?

There should still be around 20 active WPS-3000s in Tulsa. The replacement plan is still in Phase III, the last batch of the 1986 system.

I used to live down the street from the 612/3000 combo in 2014. The 612 did not appear to sound. All I could hear were BA's WPS-4000s and the 3000. It has rotated since then though. It's being used, but I'm not sure why. I might get my dad to check them out some Wednesday to see what happens.

EDIT: Tulsa Area EMA has the 3000 and 612 labeled as active as units #4493A and #4493B. They sound together for all operations. But... why?

In all noted street views, the Whelen is facing the exact direction. Either A. It has a broken rotator, or B. It doesn't work or it isn't active. In a lot of the 612 street views, it appears to be facing a different direction, too much for the wind. On the other side of the park, in the July and October 2011 street-views, the 612 is pointing a different direction. I think there is a seriously good chance now that the 612 is active. I wish I could go down there some day
